In the National Football League (NFL), the Philadelphia Eagles are a team that represents the city of Philadelphia in the NFC (NFL). In 1933, a group of Philadelphia businessmen purchased the rights to play as the Eagles from the remaining members of the disbanded Frankford Yellow Jackets. The first decade of the franchise’s existence could have been more fruitful, as the team only managed to win one or two games in seven of those years. However, hiring Earle (“Greasy”) Neale as head coach in 1941 marked the beginning of a turnaround in Philadelphia.
For 1947, 1948, and 1949 NFL champions that Neale coached, star running back Steve Van Buren was a key contributor. Dick Vermeil was hired as head coach in 1976, and the Eagles (and their fans) responded positively to his fiery coaching style. As a result, the Eagles made the playoffs four consecutive years, from 1978 to 1981, with teams led by quarterback Ron Jaworski and 6-foot-8-inch (2.03 m) wide receiver Harold Carmichael.
